  • Patent number: 6744363
    Abstract: A switchgear cabinet monitoring arrangement with a control device for monitoring switchgear cabinet functions, including a door position, and for generating monitoring signals for signaling to and/or controlling components relating to the switchgear cabinet functions and installed in the switchgear cabinet or on the switchgear cabinet. A simple and compact design is achieved because the control device is limited to monitoring preselectable threshold values, a door position switch is installed on or in the device housing, and the device housing has one or several indicator elements which react with a visual or acoustic indication when at least one threshold value is upwardly or downwardly exceeded.

  • Patent number: 6549127
    Abstract: A switchgear cabinet monitoring arrangement having a base monitoring device which is arranged or intended to be arranged in a switchgear cabinet and has at least one bus connection, several sensor connections and at least one triggering connection, for monitoring, controlling and/or regulating switchgear cabinet functions. Various monitoring and control functions of several different switchgear cabinets, along with a relatively simple construction, are achieved because a further monitoring device arranged or to be arranged in a respective further switchgear cabinet is assigned to the base monitoring device, which is connected to the base monitoring device by a field bus. The further monitoring device also has several sensor connections and at least one triggering connection and is designed for monitoring, controlling and/or regulating switchgear cabinet functions.
